3.1.5 Practice Questions(DHCP)
The DHCP server and the client use broadcasts to communicate with each other. Clients go through four
steps to obtain an address from a DHCP server.
Drag steps from the left pane to the right pane to arrange them in the order they occur when a client
obtains IP configuration from a DHCP server. Each step may be used once, more than once, or not at all. -
correct answer ✔✔DHCP Discover
DHCP Offer
DHCP Request
DHCP ACK
Explanation
The DHCP server and the client use broadcasts to communicate with each other. The list below describes
the method clients use to obtain an address from a DHCP server.
DHCP Discover: the client begins by sending out a DHCP Discover broadcast to identify DHCP servers on
the network.
DHCP Offer: a DHCP server that receives a Discover advertisement from a client responds with a DHCP
offer. The offer contains a proposed IP address lease. If more than one DHCP server sends an offer
packet, the client usually responds to the first DHCP offer that it receives.
DHCP Request--The client accepts the offered address lease by responding with a DHCP Request
broadcast.
DHCP ACK--The DHCP server responds to the request by sending a DHCP ACK (acknowledgement)
broadcast. At this point, the IP address lease is established between the client and the server.
Rachel is a junior system administrator for a network with a single Active Directory domain. The network
has just expanded to include an additional subnet. Rachel has installed a new server running Windows
Server 2016 on the new subnet and configured it as a DHCP server.
When she checks the server icon in the DHCP Management console, she notices the server has a down
icon. The DHCP server service has started, but the server does not respond to DHCP lease requests.
What should Rachel do to solve the problem? - correct answer ✔✔Ask a member of the Enterprise
Admins group to authorize the server.
